Like Mother, Like Daughter

January 30, 2009

So I've come to realize Bella is a lot like me! When she sees something she wants, she knows what buttons to push and how to smile to get it! That's such a great trait to have, trust me! But more importantly, she is a very clean toddler. She asks me or Daddy to wash her hands every night before and after dinner and loves brushing her teeth. If you know me at all, you know how OCD I am about cleanliness. I wash my hand at least 20 times a day, etc. The first time she asked me to wash her hands was last week when I was getting her dinner ready. She said "Wash Hands" and at first I didn't understand, but then she walked me over to the kitchen sink and I got the idea. It's a proud moment when my daughter can ask to get clean!

Last night, Eric got off work early and we got home around the same time. I decided to bbq steaks even though it was in the low 30's outside. Well, Bella wanted to play on our deck while I bbq'd so we bundled her up and let her swing and play the whole time. I did get video of Eric pushing her on the swing and will post this weekend. I think the cold fresh air might have gotten to her because after dinner, she wanted to get in her jammies and was asleep by 7 p.m. It truly was a wonderful and fun night!
